Saturday looks to be the better portion of the weekend. Right now, outside, its cloudy. We dont have the rain over new york city. But showers are nearby. Its 54 degrees as of right now and around the area its uniform air mass theres no one real hot spot and one cold spot. Upper 50s 40s and 50s for everybody. 8 degrees colder than average this time of year. Typically you get to 66.

As far as saturday goes it will be suffolk sunshine and sussex clouds. Further east the brighter the sky. Im writing sleep in sunday a little alliteration going on here. Youre not missing anything. Vortex satellite and radar, showers overnight. Saturday, you can see brighter the further east you go. Western community will have more clouds northern communities the same deal and then you get to your day on sunday. Not a good air mass. It looks like two separate systems. Look closely and you will see this starting to climb up to the north and fill in. This is going to become one sort of line of wet weather that moves east. We get rain on sunday. We need it. Heres what it looks like at 10 30 this morning. Chance of rain, moderate showers. But none of this is going to be severe. It pushes offshore for saturday. Saturday sun cloud mix starting off and then remember how i talked about how the further east you go the further sun you get further west more clouds . This illustrates it perfectly. Heres 5 p. M. Clear on long island and more clouds north and west then could be a little drizzle or shower for some of our northern communities and this is sunday starts off. Sunday clouds start to finish. Wet weather moves in. Throughout the daytime hours. So i wish i had better news. I think the good news is the saturday portion the better half 62 degrees sunday night looks cold. 52 degrees. Some of you will work to try to get out of the upper 40s. Its guilty to feel more like march. East wind will feel raw and its not going to be a banner day but i have always said weekends are great no matter what happens weatherwise. And then monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday friday of next week, look to tuesday as the best day during the week but youre looking at least a rain chance of some sort almost every day. Every weekend is good. What Mother Nature serves up im with you mom. Isnt that the truth . From the extreme edge of a roof high above manhattan, theres a birdseye view like no other.
